From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Amomongo is a creature of Philippinemythology described as hairy, man-sized and ape-like with long nails.[1] The
term may have its roots in the Hiligaynon word amó, which
means "ape" or "monkey". Residents of La Castellana in Negros
Occidental refer to the creature as a "wild monkey" that lives
in caves near the foot of Mt. Kanlaon. The
creature is said to have attacked two residents of the settlement
and disemboweled goats and chickens in the area, for the purpose of
eating the entrails.[2]
